Chapter 707
Natalie had a pretty good idea of who was at the door–Jeremy’s parents, Eleanor and Morton, who had been like family to her for as long as she
could remember.
Desperation gripped her as she realized the only way forward was to bring their parents into the situation. After all, they were the ones who cared most about their well–being.
Jeremy’s parents entered first, followed closely by Jeremy himself. When their eyes met, Natalie’s eyes grew red. Her emotions were a tangled mess -seeking a divorce seemed ruthlessly decisive, yet her heart was breaking with every beat.
Jeremy’s gaze was steady as he looked at Natalie. He had watched her grow up and knew it was nearly impossible for anyone to change her mind once she had made her decision. Despite this, he could not accept the end Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
of their marriage. For him, divorce was simply not an option.
Seeing Jeremy’s resolve made Natalie’s heart ache even more. They understood each other too well, and this situation was cruelly painful for
both.
“Nath, Jeremy made a mistake. Regardless of whether he was set up, he has wronged you. We have disciplined him and ensured that everyone in his company will be thoroughly vetted going forward.
“Such incidents won’t happen again. You know him better than we do; he’ll never forget his promises to you before marriage. Your parents are holding him to them. He won’t dare to forget,” Eleanor said.
Eleanor moved closer and enveloped Natalie in a tight hug. To Eleanor, Natalie was like a daughter. The betrayal Natalie felt pained Eleanor deeply, and she shared in the hurt and anger as if it were her own.
She knew Jeremy wasn’t entirely at fault. His position made him a target, and at times, it was simply beyond his capability to defend against every possible scheme. Unfortunately, this was one of those rare instances
where he was set up.
Morton couldn’t fathom the logic behind it. Why Jeremy? Why not someone else?
Morton, known for his stern demeanor, spoke to Natalie in a softer tone.” We understand how painful this is for you, but Jeremy deeply regrets his actions,” he said kindly.
He continued, “You’ve been inseparable since childhood, a model couple for many, and this setback is a major challenge, especially soon after your marriage. Nath, I know this is a huge difficulty, but could you find it in your heart to give Jeremy another chance?”
Eleanor and Morton’s eyes were filled with hopeful anticipation, their demeanor warm and affectionate. Their gentle approach only deepened Natalie’s heartache.
Kate and Damon were momentarily at a loss for words.
“No matter how things unfolded, the fault lies with me. Nath, please give us both some more time,” Jeremy pleaded, his voice almost desperate. For someone as proud and successful as Jeremy, this was a humbling plea.
Eleanor and Morton felt a pang of discomfort seeing him so vulnerable. The situation was incredibly cruel for everyone involved.
Natalie’s vision blurred as tears welled up in her eyes.
“The damage has been done,” Damon said, his voice steady. “While forgiveness is a step, it might not be enough. Nath has already extended forgiveness, but I believe some time apart could help them both gain perspective.”
Kate remained silent, her heart aching as she watched Natalie cry. The thought of their divorce was unbearable.
